President Obama said that "you can't do things by yourself" at a speech today in Virginia:

"You know, the one thing about being president is, after four years, you get pretty humble. You'd think maybe you wouldn't but actually you become more humble--you realize what you don't know," Obama said.

"You realize all the mistakes you made. But you also realize you can't do things by yourself. That's not how our system works. You've got to have the help and the goodwill of Congress, and what that means is you've got to make sure that constituents of members of Congress are putting some pressure on them, making sure they're doing the right thing."

Haw, Haw! He certainly is trying to be King and is doing it 'By' himself through Executive Orders. Executive orders, as defined by the US Supreme Court, to apply to his own office and the Military. So when he did an Executive Order on guns, he was certainly 'Doing Things' by Himself.

Obama..."...that means is you've got to make sure that constituents of members of Congress are putting some pressure on them, making sure they're doing the right thing what I want them to do." There, that's better.

I grew up in a time when kids and presidents believed Americans could do just about anything. And we did - Americans put men on the moon and brought them back using slide rules, electromechanical devices, brains and hard work. Americans built the Empire State building in one year and 45 days.Today we can't build a school crossing in that time.

Afer WWII (less than 4 years from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day) We went on to build nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers and provided most of the world with telephones, cars and TV's.

Today we have a pansy, politically corect culture and a president determined to turn America into just another 3d world country. It's becoming almost impossible to see anything done right the first time because of political correctness - too many people are employed because of their skin color or sexual preferences - not because they are the best at what they do.

Barack Obama is the most glaring example of a man employed because of his skin color, and filling a job he is incapable of doing

He is a doofus, "educated" beyond his intelligence. He knows he is a bumbling idiot at everything except smearing the bull-crap and believes everyone else is as ignorant, incompetent and incapable as he is - that's why he makes these incredibly stupid assertions - he really believes them.

I need someone else to make my clothes for me to buy.
I need someone else to lay and maintain the roads for me to travel on.
I need someone else to provide the gas for my car.
I need someone else to...
